SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BitTorrent,
Inc., an innovator of advanced technologies to efficiently move
large files across the Internet, today announced a key milestone,
growing to over 100 million worldwide monthly users of its two software
products—the original BitTorrent
Mainline, and the iconic µTorrent.

“This is an exciting day for our team. Our vision is to build a complete
technology ecosystem comprised of software, content and devices,
designed to connect modern content creators with a massive digital
audience,” said Eric Klinker, CEO at BitTorrent. “This milestone
highlights the size of our user base and the power of our software.”

In 2010, BitTorrent unveiled new initiatives to make the BitTorrent user
base more accessible to forward-thinking content creators, including a
new Spotlight
Artist program to help content creators distribute independent
works. The company has also directly distributed a number of films in
partnership with VODO,
including Pioneer
One, Yes
Men, Four
Eyed Monsters, and an album from PAZ.

The frequent result has been enthusiastic reception by the BitTorrent
community—a highly engaged audience of tech-savvy consumers.

Later this week, BitTorrent will be privately showcasing future
capabilities at CES in Las Vegas, from January 6-8. Interested media and
